"Let's talk about the views of my ancestors." said the red Yongguang tribe. "For civilization, the first task is to survive, and the purpose of existence is to pursue something that is only correct and perfect in form and core. A glorious realm of balance. In order to realize this ideal and justice, you will not hesitate to change your original path and become something you don't believe in. This can also be said to be a betrayal of your own creed, right? However, for those who want to The pursuit of achieving 'perfection' has not changed, and it is for this reason that I have vowed to embrace the light. Therefore, when I decided to merge with the colonial costume in order to survive, the original path was abandoned, along with Almost all the original achievements were buried together - of course it is not a shameful thing in my opinion as the successor, but if the orthodox intellectual civilization is concerned, it will probably only laugh at it with contempt. Yes, Clearly and assertively demonstrating the pseudo-life nature of the phenomenon of laws, but finally choosing to become an alien in the face of destruction, I think in the eyes of my former colleagues, it may be no different from betrayal. If it is 'orthodox rationality', it will How to do it? Instead of becoming a 'foreign', I would rather fight to the death. If you can't follow the path that you claim to be right, everything will be meaningless. If that is the case, you must fight with your life until the final destruction comes, so strong civilization also exists."
The thin metal rod scratched on the vitrified sand surface, leaving scratches easily. Upsilon painted a strange snowflake-like pattern on one end of the triangle.
"I don't agree with such a thing." He said, "Do you choose a path to pursue a goal, or do you regard the path as part of the goal? If this path becomes something that requires sacrificing your life to achieve, then I think There is nothing regrettable about giving up. Of course, this is just my own opinion. I can't say anything frivolous to those who give up their lives to practice their own justice. However, if in order to maintain the same path, , if even the destination is completely changed, that would be another matter. Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou Yu, do you like Pelican? "
"Ah?" Luo Binhan said.
"When I was on the Xuan Hong Jade boat, I suddenly wanted to see the pelicans, right? In fact, I also had this kind of moment when I wanted something inexplicably, but after I actually got it, I found that this thing was not good at all. It’s of no use. Rather than saying it’s useless, it’s better to say that in the process of pursuing it, the original reason for wanting it has been forgotten. This kind of thing is quite common. It is said that the eternally harmonious herd of horses - the Houyhnhnms , once pursued something called the 'Eternal Wind', but was eventually destroyed by some kind of fatal wind disaster. That is the content of the murals recorded in the ancient ruins of the Rainbow Kingdom of Hyeonyul, and it has long been known to one of my Local friends were studying it. But what did the 'eternal wind' represent? He had never figured this out. In the end, he could only interpret it as a metaphor for some kind of value or achievement, such as representing concepts such as freedom and transcendence. , or some kind of research results that symbolize them. But, how to say, I suddenly thought of such a possibility. "
Upsilon raised the metal rod and looked up at the sky. That helpless smile appeared on his face again.
"Just like the Stoneheart Hatchers pioneered the way to infinity by using traps to bring life as a terminal, it is said that the Houyhnhnms civilization also had a very great invention before its end - the engine of creation. , my friend translated it like this. But it is the same as the concept of 'eternal wind', it is a very vague term. Because of the misleading name, he and I both thought that the Houyhnhnms were already heading to infinity before they perished. It went a long way on the road, and was ultimately destroyed by itself. The wrong operation of the wishing machine caused a surge of ether, and then summoned some unexpected disaster from the void. This kind of thing happened in the civilization that first tried to create the wishing machine. Li was originally very common. However, thinking about it now, maybe he and I were completely wrong. A civilization like the Houyhnhnms with weak desires and even non-existent wars should only have an academic yearning for infinity. Of course They will not risk annihilation to forcefully test the machine. According to my current guess, the research direction they are conducting should be more similar to the attitude of my ancestors. It is 'impending evolution'."
Luo Binhan heard a heavy sigh in his head, and it sounded like Garfield had something to say. He stared at Upsilon and waited, but Garfield made no movement.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm explaining the current situation to you, Mr. Zhou Yu."
Luo Binhan shrugged. He didn't feel like going to the trouble of explaining that he was talking to the cannibal in his head. But he couldn't ignore Garfield's attitude. For some reason, it always made him uneasy.
"Long story short," he urged.
"It's better to make it clear. Because I don't want there to be any misunderstanding in this matter. Ah, it would be nice if it were all a misunderstanding. But, Mr. Zhou Yu, start with you telling me about your Pelican Big During the adventure, I have been troubled by several questions. For example, why didn't Xuanhong Zhiyu and my brother come to rescue you immediately after you, Mr. Zhou Yu, were taken away by the Pelican Vase? Maybe Mr. Zhou Yu, you I don’t know much about the situation here, but I am very familiar with the design of the Pelican Bottle. There are actually only twelve shelters made with the Pelican Bottle, a multi-directional spatial flipping bottle. Although for different For those who know that activating the spell, the direction you will be teleported to is completely random, but you don’t need to try many times to find Mr. Zhou Yu, right? Not to mention that my brother was taken away with you. With him With their character, they will definitely find a way to find you as soon as possible. In addition, Xuanhong Jade did not appear, I can only guess that they encountered some kind of obstacle. Just like the pelican bottle you encountered, Mr. Zhou Yu. , was violently destroyed by the guy I was tracking, so that node became a one-way journey. But how was the pelican bottle that trapped my brother and Xuanhong Jade damaged? You need to know that But the teleportation device that the White Tower wizards racked their brains to create must have at least thousands of additional protective spells, right? It won't die just because of a little accident."
The red Yongguang tribe said with a smile: "I really care about this issue. After talking to Mr. Zhou Yu once, I couldn't help but think about it. At this time, I noticed that it was obviously with Mr. Zhou Yu. The Xuanhong Jade was taken away by the Pelican bottle together, but only Mr. Bangbang and Mr. Zhou Yu successfully met up. This at least shows that when you jump into the mouth of a certain pelican, that pelican is still alive. Right? However, when Xuan Hongzhi Jade jumped into the same mouth after that, it hit a dead pelican. This coincidence made me think and think, oh, because I am not good at rational thinking, I always talk nonsense in the cultural classes at school, which makes the teacher very angry. So if I say something wrong, please forgive me... That is to say, the reason why Mr. Bangbang will be with Xuan Hongzhiyu I was taken away by the Pelican Bottle because Xuan Hong Zhi Jade suddenly asked to go see the pelicans with you alone, and even chatted with you on the top of the peak where the pelicans live, right? I am very curious about what you said at the time What happened?"
Bangbang opened his mouth, but before that, Upsilon raised his palm towards him.
"Ah, don't worry, Mr. Bangbang. I know you will give me a very credible answer. After all, it was you and Xuanhong Zhiyu who were talking at that time. No one knows the answer to this matter better than you. However, when I thought about this matter carefully, I found that the real point is not what you said, but why Xuanhongzhiyu wants to talk to you alone. I think I have a little understanding of his character. If If he has completely ignored you during the long time you spent together, there is no reason why he would suddenly have the idea of getting close to you. In other words, it must be something that happened before you talked. He had the motivation to talk to you. What kind of situation made Xuanhongzhiyu care so much? What reason made him happen to want to talk to you while watching the pelicans? What did he do before that? What could I possibly have noticed? When I thought about it again along this line of thought, that 'something' seemed to gradually become clearer."
The smile spread on the faces of the Yongguang clan. His eyebrows kept rising, as if they were going to jump all the way into his hair. He said in a steady voice: "Let me ask again, Mr. Zhou Yu - why on earth did you suddenly have the idea of 'wanting to see the pelicans'?"
